Microsoft Office will be free for the devices below 10 inches

Microsoft announced that the popular Office suite of applications will be available free of charge for all devices with screen sizes below 10 inches. Applications are now available and free, but it was expected to be temporary. The official blog of MIcrosoft Kyonigsbauar Kirk, who is corporate vice president of Office 365 Client Apps, states that the Office will remain free for all mobile devices.

“Currently, we use the size of the screen to determine which devices are for personal use and which professional. Our study shows that everything with a screen 10.1 inches and smaller mobile device. That is most likely use it in motion when it is not practical to use a PC or Mac. Probably not use the keyboard or mouse, and rely on the touch display. Besides this is probably not “professional” tablet that is made for design or presentations,” said Kyonigsbauar.

Since the desire to Microsoft Office 365 is to be free for personal use of mobile devices, the company will rely on its classification according to the screen size. Mobile version of Office will offer free viewing and editing documents.

There will be a paid version

Of course, there will be a paid version, which is optional. It will give more editing functions, improved integration between applications and a higher level of security.

The software giant is hoping that this will increase the interest to Office 365. The company has a new strategy that her most popular services must be accessible to as many users, including competing platforms. Kyonigsbauar points out that the strategy has already yielded results.

Office for iOS has been downloaded more than 80 million. Times, and subscriptions for Office 365 Home and Office 365 Personal increased by only 30% in the last quarter. With the increasing availability of the software package and more devices, the company expects that more users will subscribe and paid versions.
